Thus starts a little bit of a low stretch at home for the Thunder. Oklahoma City has been rolling at home, which is sometimes what makes these type of games dangerous. You’re playing a team that isn’t upper tier and you almost feel like you can show up and win because you’re at home. The Suns aren’t great, but certainly possess the necessary tools to beat anyone.

Phoenix coming in: The Suns played Sunday beating Sacramento.

Three Big Things

1. Steve Nash. Pretty self explanatory. He’s good.

2. Perimeter protection. The Suns have some quality marksmen from outside and if Nash gets the pick-and-roll going and is able to kick out to open shooters, the Thunder could find themselves in a fourth quarter game.

3. The hammer from Poland. Marcin Gortat was a tough matchup for OKC in the first matchup and has played solid basketball this season. He runs the pick-and-roll well with Nash and it’s going to be a tall task for Perk to hedge and recover all night on the Suns big man.

what do you guys think about this game plan? i think we need to get ibaka 6-10 jumpers per game, he drops the ball when we dump it low, but he's so much more active all around when he's involved offensively

Urgent! Urgent! Has anyone seen Daequan Cook? He hasn't been seen at a thunder game in some time and his family is starting to worry about him. If you see him please contact Sam Presti or your local authorities. While he waits to hear about Cook, Presti will saying prayers over Thabo's foot.

It looks like we only can focus on game 100% about 10 mins.In the game against Celtics,we had a great beginning and in those games against Magic,Mavs and Suns,we had a great ending.Other times we played BS.No teams can change themselves so huge in one game like us

Maybe it's just a thing where Brooks is terrible at game-planning, so we always look bad/unprepared early - but he's fairly good at in-game adjustments, so we eventually figure it out and turn it around in the 2nd half.

@OBoymuzik the way Scott handles Ibaka's minutes and the way he uses him seems weird to me. Sometimes he lets him in the groove and have huge games like tonight. Other nights within about the first 5 minutes he pulls him and relegates him to sparring minutes. Doesn't seem like he gets a lot of leash to work with.

@OBoymuzik I could definitely see Thabo and Nazr. We've sort of gotten over the loss of Thabo already. Nazr is playing less and less as is. And especially if it meant you could bring in a decent backup PG it could make sense.

@ThunderWins@jdstorm@f5alcon Those are the kind of numbers that drive coaches like Mike Brown crazy...let's see if he has the balls to call out Kobe, or if he keeps quiet and lets Kobe continue running the team.

@mjokc88@tydude I wouldn't sell him short. Just cause he got hyped doesn't make him bad. And I'll bet he comes back better. If he works on going left, and working with melo/stat/tyson to find a way to make them less redundant, they'll be good
